Submit a Review"Provide technology knowledge to our customers. Driving!"
"I love being able to assess complex operational issues related to the UI. I enjoy working with multiple teams to resolve issues with functionality and data integrity. I dislike not being able to effect immediate change to fix some issues which appear simplistic to me at times. Finally I am not a fan of outsourcing the programming and coding roles to offshore contractors. This practice makes resolving functional points of failure a long and more drawn out process due to the time zone differences."
"I just love working on IT projects. This is one way to keep me updated with all the current techs."
"Working in IT was not my ideal job, since I have a degree in engineering, but I did enjoy my role and found it interesting."
"I'm more of a developer. I tried out IT, didn't like it."
"Very good clients and interesting projects. Possibility to move from one big client to another and from one technology to another inside one company."
"I am always excited to learn new approaches and technologies, suggesting solutions that would best suit the needs of the project. So far I was also able to do a great deal of programming in this position, which I am hoping to continue doing in the future."
"The pay is good with reasonable room for advancement. What I love is helping teachers and students with their issues and keeping the university moving. What I hate is belligerent clients who are angry about your help etc. Its an understandable attitude but one that should be tempered."
Please give us a one liner to describe this review.
"Horrible company. Cannot trust their words."
What do you like about working at Populus Group?
"No Pros. Had a horrible experience. Pay checks are weekly not bi-weekly."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Avoid if you can. This is not the right place for someone to file your Green card."
What don't you like about working at Populus Group?
"Here is the entire process: You will be working for a desI employer looking for a new project. With your knowledge you will get a project through TekSystems as the prime vendor. A Teksystems representative who coordinated with you and the client will call you and mislead you with an offer of Green card after 6 months of completion of your project provided they transfer their H1B to Populus group. After you complete 6 months and end up on a bench they will not help you find any new project instead they will call you and tell you that they have a two week bench policy and they will withdraw your H1B. Then out of frustration you will find a project on your own and ask them to proceed with your PERM process for green card. Some attorney from Clarkhill will then start drafting your job description and take atleast 3 months to finalize. This is clearly an adjustment between the law firm and Populus. After this they will then draft an advertisement which will take 3 more months. If you are lucky and still hold a job at the client site they will advertise and tell you that there is a 30 day cool off period. After the cool off period they will say the attorney is on a vacation for two weeks. This goes on and on. If you need any help please contact me at rajkun20@gmail.comI am here to help you avoid a big trap. Life is too short. Don't make the same mistakes as I did."
